Went with a group of 13 and everything was amazing. Edgar was always responsive and helpful. The breakfasts were delicious and was nice to have a reason to all sit together each morning. House had plenty of space, was well stocked, pool was very nice (plenty of hot days while we stayed), and everyone really enjoyed the neighborhood. Thanks!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was absolutely beautiful, very spacious, and perfect for a large family. The bedrooms were incredibly big, and having so many rooms and bathrooms made everyone feel comfortable and gave us plenty of space. The staff provided excellent service throughout our entire stay. Everyone was very kind, welcoming, and attentive, which made our experience even better. Breakfast was delicious every single day and was definitely something we looked forward to each morning. We truly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely recommend this home to other families looking for a beautiful, spacious, and welcoming place to stay!

We will rent again. Edgar, Cecy and the other staff were amazing. Breakfast was great for the whole family. The house was beautiful and staff was really helpful. They moved a bed from the second floor to the first floor because one family member was not able to get to second floor. Love the place and the service provided by Cecy and Edgar. Thank you guys!

Our stay at Casa Cortazar was everything we wished for. It was absolutely beautiful just like the pictures they advertised. I went there to celebrate my 30th birthday with family and friends, a total of 11, and we all fit comfortably. Their chef was excellent! The menu was good and delicious. The house is perfectly located near great restaurants and nightlife. One thing I do wish other reviews would’ve mentioned, so now I will, is the fact that their common areas are not conditioned with AC, they only have minisplits in the rooms and a few areas in the house, but the house is too big for the minisplits to do the job. We had to leave the minisplits on even when we left for the day because if we didn’t, we would come back to a sauna and be drenched in minutes. The public beach areas are at a walking distance, but if you’re trying to go somewhere else, all you had to do was walk to the corner and many pulmonias would be at your disposal. All in all, my guests and I enjoyed our stay.

This place was worth the stay! Great team who works there, Adela and Ceci- wow- they cook so good!! They clean well and respect our privacy. Loved the 3 washers and 3 dryers! Loved the pool, especially after a long hot day in the beach or downtown, and the amount of restrooms and showers available was great! All supplies ready to use-did need to wash towels frequently. Great walking distance to local shops and local shopping!! Loved that there was 4 bicycles for us to use. Definitely worth the stay!!! A balance of well cooled places and natural “weather” areas. One side note: the internet - goes in and out.

We recently stayed at Casa Cortázar, and what can I say? It is one of the most stunning properties I've ever stayed in. Every detail was thoughtfully done. The restoration of this beautiful historic home is incredible, blending its original charm with luxurious comfort. The beds were unbelievably comfortable, the house was spacious, and the amenities exceeded our expectations. What truly made our stay special, though, was the amazing staff. House manager Edgar was incredibly helpful, and Adela and her assistant were so kind and welcoming. Their hospitality made us feel right at home. The location couldn't have been better. Casa Cortázar is just steps from Plaza Machado, with countless restaurants, bars, and cafés within easy walking distance! We loved every moment of our stay. It was the perfect home base for enjoying our favorite port city, Mazatlán, and we already can't wait to come back. Highly recommend!

Outstanding accommodation in Mazatlán. Casa Cortazar feels more like a 5-Star Resort than an AirBnb place. The service provided by Edgar, Adela and Cecy is remarkable. Included breakfast was creative and delicious. Beautiful location in Centro Histórico and at walking distance to plenty of nice restaurants, cafés and bars and just two blocks from Malecón and sea views. Amazed by the city's calm vibe and how safely locals and tourists enjoy walking the Malecón and Centro Histórico at any time of day. Our expectations were exceeded by far.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Cortázar. It is probably the best Airbnb type property in historic Mazatlan. The home is large and fun to explore and get to know. The central courtyard is beautiful and fills the adjacent rooms with light. Edgar and the chef Adela and her helper were so helpful and welcoming. The breakfasts were amazing with everything freshly made every morning. The salsa was so good I had to get the recipe from Adela. Despite the proximity to so many restaurants and bars nearby there wasn't a peep of noise in the bedrooms.
